Samsung Wallet has introduced a stablecoin account that lets eligible Galaxy users in the United States buy, hold, send and receive USDC on Solana, according to an Odaily roundup published on November 6, 2026, at 08:29:48 UTC+8.
The service covers approximately 82 million compatible devices. That figure describes device coverage, not the number of people using the accounts. New York residents are not eligible.
How the account works
Users can access the service without downloading a separate crypto application or managing private keys. Stablecoin custody and infrastructure provider Bastion built the service in cooperation with Coinbase.
The custody arrangement has a further layer: Coinbase provides USDC sub-custody to Bastion through Coinbase Prime Vault.
Samsung describes the account as a crypto wallet, not a bank account. The reported functions are buying, holding and transferring USDC on Solana; the source does not provide details about reserves or redemption terms for this service.
